Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-92)
Lady Elizabeth Delme and her Children,
Joshua Reynolds was the most successful portrait painter of his day in England as well as a distinguished member of London's intellectual society. Reynolds was born on July 16, 1723, in Plympton, Devon, England. His father, a clergyman, conducted a grammar school. Reynolds was one of his pupils, but he preferred sketching on the margins of his Latin exercises to studying. He also copied drawings at every chance. Apprenticed at age 17 to Thomas Hudson, a popular London portrait painter, Reynolds studied with him for three years. The next few years he divided between Plymouth and London. At Plymouth Reynolds met Lord Edgecumbe, who became a lifelong patron. Edgecumbe introduced him to Augustus Keppel, commander of the Mediterranean squadron of the British fleet. Keppel gave him passage to Rome, where for two years Reynolds studied the Italian masters. In the drafty galleries of Rome, Reynolds caught a cold that led to permanent deafness. Lady Caroline Howard
In 1752 he returned to London. There he established himself as a portrait painter, and success came quickly. Nearly every distinguished English family of the time sat for a Reynolds portrait. The artist became especially well known for his portraits of women and children. He never married but maintained a splendid London house and was active in society. In 1764 he founded the Literary Club, whose members included such famous people as authors Samuel Johnson and Oliver Goldsmith, statesman Edmund Burke, and actor David Garrick.

His work portrayed the calm dignity of his sitters, rich colors, and realistic depiction of influential society members. He studied under Thomas Hudson before traveling to Italy in 1749. His work shows the influence of Michelangelo and Peter Paul Rubens. After his trip abroad, Reynolds received recognition for his portraits of prominent members of English society.

Sir Joshua Reynolds was an English painter in the Grand Manner, who was the foremost portraitist of his day. Reynolds was born in Plympton, Devonshire, on July 16, 1723, the son of a cleric. He learned portraiture from a painter in London and in 1749 sailed to the Mediterranean with Commodore Augustus Keppel. After three years traveling in Italy he returned to London, where he soon attracted notice by his portraits of prominent persons. He came to be the first English painter to achieve social recognition for his artistic achievements. In 1764 Reynolds founded the Literary Club, which included essayist and critic Samuel Johnson, actor David Garrick, statesman Edmund Burke, writer Oliver Goldsmith, writer James Boswell, and dramatist Richard Brinsley Sheridan. When the Royal Academy of Arts was instituted in 1768, Reynolds was elected president and was knighted. In 1769 he delivered the first of his annual Discourses (pub. 1778) to the students of the academy in which he set forth the idealistic, moralizing principles of academic art. In 1784 he succeeded Allan Ramsay as painter to the king; in the same year he exhibited his portrait of the English actor Sarah Siddons as the Tragic Muse (1784, Huntington Art Gallery, San Marino, California), probably his greatest portrait. Other well-known paintings are Nelly O'Brien (1760-62, Wallace Collection, London), Lady Sarah Bunbury (1765, Art Institute of Chicago), Heads of Angels (1787, Tate Gallery, London), and Age of Innocence (1788, Tate Gallery).

    Reynolds, Sir Joshua (1723-1792) Englischer Maler, bedeutendster Porträtist seiner Zeit und erster Direktor der Royal Academy of Arts in London Reynolds wurde am 18. Juli 1723 in Plympton (bei Plymouth , Devonshire) geboren. Ab 1740 erhielt er seine Ausbildung bei dem berühmten Porträtmaler Thomas Hudson in London und unternahm 1749 bis 1752 eine Bildungsreise durch Europa. In Italien studierte er vorrangig die Werke Raffaels Michelangelos Tintorettos und Tizians Zurück in London beschloß Reynolds , der damals gering geschätzten Porträtmalerei zu größerem Ansehen zu verhelfen und gründete ein eigenes Studio. Mit Bildnissen prominenter Persönlichkeiten gelang er rasch zu Ansehen und Wohlstand. Von großem Vorteil erwies sich hierbei der 1764 von Reynolds gegründete Literary Club , dem so bedeutende Köpfe wie der Essayist und Kritiker Samuel Johnson , der Schauspieler David Garrick , der Staatsmann Edmund Burke , die Schriftsteller Oliver Goldsmith und James Boswell sowie der Dramatiker Richard Brinsley Sheridan angehörten. Reynolds' Porträtkunst zeigt hinsichtlich der Motivik und Bildkomposition Einflüsse antiker und italienischer Vorbilder, das meist warme, helldunkle Kolorit geht auf die Bildnisse

This Collection is regularly on loan to Colby College for one academic semester every two years. BACKGROUND Reynolds was an English portrait painter. He was the first president of the Royal Academy, which established official rules for accepted art styles and art education. In his position Reynolds became a role model for other portrait painters. The Lady Somerset is the earlier of these two works and was a commissioned portrait for an aristocratic family. Robinetta , on the other hand, portrays a simple peasant girl and was painted some nine years later. The contrast in subject and style make for an interesting comparison. ACTIVITY These two portraits of young girls by the same artist provide a wealth of observable information which can be used to write essays comparing the two paintings. Students can discuss differences in the artist's technique, the class position of the subjects, their personalities, etc.
